Students in the Springfield School District returned to classes Monday from a shortened, 48-day summer break.

A brutal winter pushed back the last day of school to June 5 — the latest in three years. The originally scheduled plan was for students to end the year May 29.

Some students returned Monday to renovated buildings complete with central air, while others parked their cars in repaved parking lots.

At Enos Elementary, 524 Elliott Ave., students enjoyed lunch Monday in a cafeteria that didn’t double as a library.

The new school — paid for with about $9.2 million in health and life-safety bonds — is now finished. The district tore down the old building, despite pleas from local preservationists, during the summer of 2012.

Enos principal Claudia Johnson said students and teachers last school year had to make the best of a cramped situation.

The library wasn’t finished, so books were stacked in boxes set aside in both the cafeteria and classrooms. Johnson also said meals were prepared elsewhere and shipped over because the kitchen wasn’t ready.

Now that everything is complete, Johnson said, it’s freed up the cafeteria/gymnasium for its proper use.

In addition, she noted that each classroom at the new school is equipped with an Apple TV, a luxury not available to students at most buildings in District 186. Apple TVs are devices that can receive digital data and stream it to a capable TV.

“We have lots of technology and lots of space, so we’re just really excited about the new addition to our building,” Johnson said.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Enos Elementary will be held at 5 p.m. Friday. The community is invited to attend and tour the school.
